STARMINES
The Studio

Few hands. Deep ownership.

Starmines is a small, senior collective of engineers and researchers. No account managers, no bench, no junior delivery team. When you hire us, you get the people whose names are on this page — building the system themselves.

[ The four ] London · Remote · Regulated industries
CP 01 / APPLIED-AI

Charan Puvvala

AI & LLM Systems

Designs the agent and model architectures — and the evals that keep them honest in production.

SK 02 / GRAPH

Shiva Kumar

Knowledge Graphs & Data

Builds the ontologies, graphs and platforms that let messy enterprise data finally reason.

HN 03 / SECURITY

Heather Nonnis

Cyber Security & Compliance

Threat-models and red-teams the systems we ship — and keeps regulated clients audit-ready.

HV 04 / RETRIEVAL

Harshitha Venna

Retrieval & ML Engineering

Engineers the retrieval and ML pipelines — grounded, fast, and citable end to end.

[ How we operate ]

Principles we won't trade away.

01

Proof over demos

We'd rather show you a working prototype on your real data than a polished slide. If it can't be measured, it isn't done.

02

We build what we sell

The people who scope the work write the code. No handoff to a delivery team — because there isn't one.

03

Built to be audited

In regulated and scientific domains, trust is the product. Lineage, security and explainability are designed in, not bolted on.

04

We say no

If AI is the wrong tool, we'll tell you. We turn down work that won't ship value — it's why clients come back.

Work with all four.

Small enough to care about your problem. Senior enough to solve it.
